Steph Curry bullish after Game 5 win

Steph Curry led the Warriors to a superb victory against the Lakers to give the Dubs a ray of hope and a chance of redemption. 

The series will now shift to Los Angeles, where the Warriors will look to force a Game 7 back home.

Speaking with the NBA on TNT crew following the win, Warriors star Steph Curry said, "It's just a matter of taking stock of what happened in Game 3 and 4, and honestly I think the pressure is on them [in Game 6] to protect their home floor.

"We had the pressure tonight to keep ourselves alive with our back against the wall, and now it shifts. I think we can play better. Obviously, I haven't shot the ball well from three, Klay is hit or miss, so I feel like we can take another step and give ourselves a great opportunity. 

"That's the beauty of the playoffs, every game is kind of a narrative of its own, and that's what you love about it."
